Draw the structure. Watch AI interpret the scene.

Live AI Canvas turns a rough drawing into an evolving visual direction. Sketch with simple marks, optionally add text guidance and a style, then generate an AI-rendered image that follows the composition you established.

Simple geometry establishes placement and silhouette.

AI resultLatest interpretation

The generated image adds material, lighting, and detail while using the drawing as its compositional foundation.

A faster loop between spatial intent and visual detail

Words are useful for mood and content. A sketch is useful for showing where things belong. Live AI Canvas combines both without forcing a rough drawing to pretend it is finished art.

Draw with direct control

Choose brush size, opacity, and color. Use pointer or touch input to block out the composition on a white canvas.

Correct the structure

Erase, undo, redo, or clear the drawing as the idea changes. The sketch remains an editable working surface.

Choose when AI responds

Generate manually, or enable automatic updates after completed strokes. In-flight requests are cancelled when a newer edit takes priority.

Compare iterations

Generation history keeps sketch-and-result pairs together so you can return to an earlier direction instead of losing it.

How to guide the result

Start with the information that is easiest to express visually, then add only the words the sketch cannot carry.

Composition

Use large, readable shapes for the subject, horizon, major objects, and empty space. Small decorative marks are less useful than clear silhouettes and relative scale.

Direction text

Turn it on when the image needs information the drawing cannot express: material, setting, time of day, or the identity of an ambiguous shape. Leave it off for neutral sketch rendering.

Style and mode

Choose a style preset and decide whether the interpretation should stay literal or allow more cinematic detail. Review one variable at a time when comparing results.

What Live AI Canvas does—and what it does not

Built for visual iteration

Use it to explore a composition, turn a rough drawing into a more realistic or stylized image, compare directions, and download flat PNG, JPG, or WebP results.

Not a layered-file workflow

Canvas output is a flat image. If you need independently editable visual layers assembled into a PSD or another layered format, use the Layered AI workflow.

AI interpretation can vary between generations. Rough or ambiguous shapes may be read differently than intended, fine details can change, and higher-fidelity results still need human review. Treat each render as an iteration—not a guaranteed reconstruction of the sketch.

Live AI Canvas questions

Is Live AI Canvas a layered PSD generator?

No. Live AI Canvas is a separate sketch-to-image workspace for flat visual output. Use Layered AI Studio when the required deliverable is an editable layered file.

Does AI render after every brush movement?

When automatic generation is enabled, LayerAxon waits until a stroke ends and then applies a short debounce before requesting the next interpretation. Manual generation is also available.

Can I draw without writing a prompt?

Yes. Direction text is optional. With it off, the canvas sends neutral sketch-rendering guidance; with it on, your text helps direct the interpretation.
